Battery information for the European Union and EEA
Important:
The trash symbol indicates that the batteries and accumulators used in this product must be
disposed of separately from household waste in accordance with EU Directive 2006/66/EC (“Directive”) and
local requirements.
If a chemical symbol is printed beneath the trash symbol, in accordance with the Directive, this indicates that a heavy
metal (Hg = Mercury, Cd = Cadmium, Pb = Lead) is present in this battery or accumulator at a concentration higher
than an applicable threshold specified in the Directive.
Batteries and accumulators must not be disposed of as unsorted municipal waste. Users of batteries and
accumulators must use the available collection framework for the return, recycling, and treatment of batteries and
accumulators.
If your product contains non-removable batteries, the entire product is already covered by the EU WEEE (Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment) Directive and should be handed over to an authorized collection site for WEEE.
The collection site will take appropriate measures for the recycling and treatment of the product, including the
batteries.
Customer participation in the collection and recycling of batteries and accumulators is important to minimize any
potential effects of batteries and accumulators on the environment and human health due to substances used in
batteries and accumulators.
In the EU, there are separate collection and recycling schemes for batteries and accumulators. To find out more
about recycling schemes for batteries and accumulators available in your area, contact your local city office, waste
authority, or waste disposal facility.
